Teachers will be using the online learning experiences of last year to arrange matters between now and May 16th under the following headings:

 

On-site, on-air, online, on-hand and on-demand. 

Shame they removed the DLTV  learning stations from Terrestrial TV    now only available online or by Satellite

strangely they still show up in the Terrestrial TV box channel listings have video and audio PID's  but tuning to them displays a black screen.

If you click on the link to Siam Rath in the above article

The requested page "/n/242135v" could not be found.

Before I grounded the compressors, the voltage to ground was about 20-25V.

Yesterday I cleaned my aircon  which is also not earthed !  obviously  it was switched off at the breaker and I had already established that the breaker was breaking the  live wire not the neutral.....  anyway before cleaning/switching off

I measured various points on the metal casing to ground and found from 1.5 to 3.8 volts AC

I have touched the metal casing in the past whilst live and not received any sort of shock ,it is located high up on the balcony  out of reach for kids but within reaching distance for adults so another job to add to the to-do list ????️  ????

Did you ask how much?

They charged me 2 baht per copy in Pattaya...outrageous !!!   ????

The Kasikorn branch on beach road slightly north of Soi 5 (immigration) is good to use they know exactly what immigration require.

No appointment system as far as I know.

Yes quite bad this year for these pesky fruit "flies"

Be careful of those damn things! While they do not bite they will descend on any minor abrasion

They can also cause a nasty eye infection the Thais call "rok dta deng"   

the "red eye disease"

I touched one of the outside compressor units and got quite a strong tingle.

If you got a shock from the metal case then IMHO something is wrong it's not "normal"   just out of curiosity how many volts did you measure going to ground ?

I grounded the units myself so all is OK

So now you have a constant flow of "wasted" electricity  flowing to ground..yes its good that its not flowing through a person but the fault is still there   I would look for chaffed wires or joints/connections tapped up and touching the metal casing

look too at the wire that goes through the wall could be tapped up to the copper/aluminium coolant pipe and  was damaged during install or become leaky due to moisture or pest attack  ants, rats etc.

Depending where you are...some offices require a Letter of Residence from the foreign seller

Yes I was just about to post that   Chonburi  certainly requires it.

So you have to force the bonded glass open? With great care, I imagine!

I would be more tempted to cut a hole in the back  plastic to access the battery rather than try prying off the glass...seal up again afterwards with silicon sealer.

Some more sage advise ( tested by the Mythbusters too)

drinking and eating on the beach, but now its no sitting either .... why?

They don't want people out in the healthy "outdoors"  sun and sea air   relaxing and enjoying themself  maybe even getting some exercise..just stay home and cower under the bed covers !!!  ????????

If she was driving the scooter on the promenade

She was driving along the road  as where the police/tesakit in their  pickup truck with  red lights "a flashing"..stopping at various places where they saw people sitting on the beach,then  one or two "officers" jumped out of the truck to

"have a word" with the "offenders"

There where  absolutely no deck chair vendors on the beach   and hardly any traffic in Pattaya (south)  or along Jomtien beach road.

This afternoon the police/tesakit where moving on anyone sitting on Jomtien beach    they didn't seem to be bothering people walking or jogging along the promenade as long as they had a face mask on ????  ????

though one woman driving a scooter and had face mask on was waved down and immediately  handed over 500 baht no idea what that was about ?    perhaps no helmet fine ?

Totally not looking where she was going !!
